摘      要：This study deals with the enhanced solubilization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons （PAHs） such as phenanthrene （PHE） and fluorene （FLR） in a pure cationic gemini （G6） and three conventional surfactants [polyethylene glycol dodecyl ether （Brij35）, cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide （CRAB） and sodium lauryl sulfate （SDS）] as well as in their equimolar binary combinations （G6-Brij35, G6-CTAB and G6-SDS）. Their solubilization efficiency toward PHE and FLR has been quantified in terms of the molar solubilization ratio （MSR） and the micelle-water partition coefficient （Kin）. The ideality/nonideality of the mixed micelles is discussed with the help of Clint, Rubingh and Rosen＇s approaches. These theories determine the deviation of experimental critical micelle concen- tration （CMC） values from ideal critical micelle concentration, which was measured by evaluating the interaction parameters （/3m and/3）. Negative values ofβm were observed in all the equimolar binary systems, which show synergism in the mixed micelles. Whereas at air/liquid interface synergism was observed in the systems G6-CrAB and G6-Brij35; G6-SDS exhibited an antagonistic effect. The order of MSR and Km was G6-CTAB 〉 G6- Brij35 〉 G6-SDS for phenanthrene as well as for fluorene.
